A must-read for all Americans concerned about the security of our national secrets, and terroristic attacks against the homeland. In less than one year my colleague and I uncovered egregious criminality that occurred there, along with huge resistance from lab officials - intent on protecting their $3 billion nuclear research contract and their lucrative salaries and benefits - who were threatened by our presence. It continues to be one of the largest scandals ever to hit U.S. security. Throughout our investigations, these lab leaders threatened that unless we helped them cover-up their debacles we would be fired. And we were. At that point we blew the whistle. A furious battle ensued, leading to congressional investigations/hearings, a million-dollar wrongful-termination settlement, the firing or reassignments of 18 lab personnel and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham announcing that the lab had to bid for the lab contract, the first time since the beginning of the Manhattan Project.
